經文: 耶利米書 45:5 你為自己圖謀大事嗎？不要圖謀！
默想: 人為何想為自己圖謀大事呢？是為了替自己留名千古嗎？人是否能學習也為別人圖謀大事呢？人是否可能為耶和華圖謀大事呢？主耶穌教導我們，要先求神的國與義，我們一切所需用的，上帝都知道，而且也會供應。求主幫助我，能夠立志為主圖謀大事。
題目: 你對於先知耶利米與下埃及的猶太人之間的爭議有何感想呢？

Chapter 44 described the last prophesy that Jeremiah conveyed to the Jews, who still did not learn from past experiences of failure (Jer 44: 9-10) and got stuck in the mistakes such as idolatry, which went against the Lord’s laws, decrees, or stipulations.
回覆刪除What drove Jeremiah to reminding them the disasters was probably because of the words from the Lord, “I will overthrow what I have built and uproot what I have planted, throughout the land. …but wherever you go I will let you escape with your life” (45:4-5).
When the Lord no longer endures the wicked actions and the detestable things, He will definitely exert justice. Meanwhile, the righteous will be under His wing.
大家平安
回覆刪除很像骨肉兄弟之中，有人背棄自己的父母；也像離棄信仰的基督徒，比原本未信的人還硬心。無怪乎耶利米被稱為流淚的先知，他的心痛可想而知，遑論那"萬軍之耶和華─以色列的神"。
草戊尚土 牧師和各位俱樂部的兄姐，平安：
回覆刪除我有個比喻不知恰不恰當，這裡就像一個吃檳榔吃了幾十年的人，當醫生告訴他，如果你再吃下去就會得到口腔癌，然而他還是不聽，繼續吃他的檳榔，過不久他就如醫師所說的得到了口腔癌，醫生為了讓他能活下去便決定切除他的口腔被感染的區域，不管是臉頰或是舌頭，只要已經有癌細胞存在就得切除。
有時我也覺得聖經裡面許多章節裡，上帝似乎過於嚴厲，有些懲罰甚至連小孩都不放過，但是我相信上帝還是憐憫的，如同醫師在醫治一個癌症病患，能夠存活似乎是醫師與病人共同的盼望。

Dear all, Peng An,
回覆刪除When what you said was not accepted or respected, would you continue to say? Or would you just give up and let go?
Jeremiah the prophet carried on his ministry continuingly even after being rejected and persecuted...
